I started working on my Spring to Finish projects this weekend. Well, actually just one, because the weather and weeds were calling during the day.
It may not seem like much but I did add three or four flowers to the mini GFG quilt.
I'm sure I won't finish this one by May 31st, but one can try...

Download the pattern here. (You will need Adobe Reader. You can download it at http://get.adobe.com/reader.)Links to all the previous blocks can be found in the sidebar.The Pinwheel Party pattern is now available for purchase on Craftsy and Etsy.

(If you want to get a head start on the sashing & border, you're going to need twenty-four 2"(finished) pinwheels. That means you will have to cut your squares 1 7/8". You will need at least 3 of each color. Directionality will be as in Block 8. Details will follow in Week 13.)

A pillowcase made using a very easy method and french seams. I'll share this at a later stage.
The fabric is Birdie by Me & My Sister Designs for Moda. You can, of course, find it over here.
My three by three swap quilt top. Finally. Now to get it quilted.
Mod Mutts. I used some suggestions from the previous post and made the little mutts tumble.
Fabric: Mutt and Dumb Dot from Michael Miller Fabrics.
Pattern: So Charming by me.
Using the Mod Mutts quilt kit.
And finally, my SewConnected 3 quilt top.
I decided to use a dotty sashing to separate the blocks but still keep the wonky feel.
To celebrate completing the top and motivate me to finish the quilt,Panache will be 20% off in the store until the quilt is done.
A rather productive weekend, don't you agree?

I've been playing around with ideas for using that cute Mutt fabric for something other than a dog bed.
This would be a cute and very practical little boy quilt using the "So Charming" pattern.
I've made a couple of blocks and I really like them.
Opinions?

Annette who said: I love this idea of old and new for a magazine. Sounds like some wonderful projects inside.
I would recommend checking out her blog. She's a wonderful quilter.

(There are only two of these magazines left at the special price, so if you were waiting to see if you won...)

I have not yet heard from two of the winners in the fat quarter giveaway. They have until Sunday. After that I will draw two new names, so if you didn't win anything, you may still be in the game.

And just because you can't have a blog post without a picture, these came the other day. It's Frolic by Sandy Gervais for Moda.
I'm working on a very cute little project which I'll hopefully be able to show off over the weekend.
